Obviously Edwards is not an owner that would rather have draft picks or choices and who would rather have the money. Another example is the Bouwmeester trade, where I am convinced they would have gotten a blue chip elite prospect from a team if they had been willing to hold back $2-2.5M of Bouwmeesters contract next year.

The Flames management and owners are stupid and cheap.
^ I thought the issue wasn't absolute dollars, but something about tagging room so we could sign Brad Richards / Ryan Smyth to those mega contracts and we needed cap room?
